It was a pretty standard interview process with about four or five questions, mostly about my experience. The hiring manager was the only person I spoke with and they were very nice. They were upfront about the company potentially shutting down soon, so they mentioned that the role might not be available for long. Even so, they did extend an offer.

The interview process was pretty straightforward, but it felt like there were too many interviewers involved, and they all had differing views on the company. It seemed like they were looking for candidates who possessed a wide range of knowledge but not necessarily the specific skills required for the role.

The interview was pretty chill, mostly focused on your experience. Basically, if you can prove you're alive, have a clean record, and aren't a mess appearance-wise, you're pretty much hired. It wasn't intense at all. If you need some cash and don't have tons of experience, and really don't want to sling burgers, it's not a tough gig to land.
